If I'm not wrong.
Teams must spend up to 89% of their CAP each year.
They can carry any excess they do not spend this year over to the next year.
The under 89% goes to the league who takes it all. Then distributes it to all players based on current salary level and number of plays they were on field for.
The salary level is reversed here so the low paid players get in line first.

The key features of the 2011 CBA included changes related to health and safety, including a reduction in the number of off-season practices, a prohibition against training camp “two-a days", and a limit on contact practices in both the preseason and regular season.[23][24] The new CBA also featured increases in player benefits, including retroactive pension increases for retired players and the creation of a neuro-cognitive benefit for players affected by concussions and other similar injuries. Also, the agreement promised an increase up to $1.5 million in salary guarantees for injured players[23] and a new revenue split, offering players between 47 percent and 48.5 percent of all revenue.[20][25] Changes were also made in contract-related benefits, with an increase in minimum player salaries[19] and salary cap minimums, including the guarantee of a 99% -95% league wide spend and a requirement that each club would have to spend an average of 89% of the salary cap over four-year periods.[26]

A new rookie salary system was implemented by the NFL to limit spending on first-round draft picks,
[24] but the savings were reallocated to veteran players.[27] The 2011 CBA had no opt-out clause and a ten-year term set to expire after the 2020 season.[20][28]

that includes signing bonus paid so it takes a lot of work to calculate.

After some research regarding the content above I also found that the next evaluation period to determine if teams have spent 89% of their salary cap will not occur until 2020 (someone correct me if they find something different). This means that all of the cap money sitting out there can be carried over without penalty until that time. The penalty is payment to the NFLPA of the difference between the 89% and whatever percentage they actually spent.

I think the floor is a ROLLING 4 year CASH spend. It's easy to circumnavigate for teams and probably should he higher than 89%
